Electric Stove Not Working? Try These Troubleshooting Tips
The majority of homes in the United States have an electric stove. These appliances are well–loved for how consistent they are to cook with and how easy they are to clean. Still, like any appliance, electric stoves need maintenance now and then to keep them in top form. Before you call in the experts for a minor repair, here are some suggestions on how to address common problems on your own first.
Check the Power Source
If the entire appliance doesn’t turn on, start by checking the power source. It’s not likely that your oven has been entirely unplugged. However, you can verify that the plug is getting power by checking your circuit breaker or testing the outlet by plugging in another device. If the outlet gives power, but your stove still won’t turn on, there’s probably an issue with the stovetop itself. If the outlet doesn’t work, contact Custom Electrical Services to have an electrician fix it.
Check the Coils
If your stove does turn on, but some or all of the electric coils won't provide heat, it could be that they aren't plugged in all the way. This can happen when you remove the coils for cleaning. Double–check that they have been replaced entirely and that there isn't any debris stuck between the coil and the stove that may disrupt the power flow. If you've verified the connection and checked for a mess, and it's still not getting hot, it's time to call the professionals.
You may also notice that there has been some damage to the electric coils. These coils will obtain a bit of wear and tear as we cook. If you see significant damage like blisters, cracks, or bubbles on the surface of the coils, it's time to replace them. You can generally find these replacement parts at reasonable prices from a local hardware store or online. Just verify that the make and model of the replacement is the correct size you need.
Call in the Experts
If you've verified that power is getting to your stove, your stove and coils are clean, all the plugs and cords seem free of damage, and you're still seeing issues, contact the experts of Custom Electrical Services .

We are so appreciative of the work that Morgan and his team did on behalf of Custom Electrical for our new home. Custom Electrical provided a thorough, exact, and honest/fair bid right from the start, and they stuck to it! We had a budget, and they respected it. They were always timely and very professional. Attention was paid to every detail, and they made sure things were just how we wanted them. They went above and beyond in so many ways, from being patient with our kids running around to coming back an extra time to make sure everything was just right. We will be recommending them to everyone we know. Thanks you guys!— Rachel Keller

5 stars and a forever customer! My family moved into an older home and we've had Custom Electric over several times to help get our home working a bit more how I would like it. I appreciate that I am always able to get someone to my home quickly- whether it's to install a light switch or rewire an entire room. Everyone who's been in my home has been professional, friendly, and consistent in their quality work. Maybe most of all, I am grateful for the honest communication and great customer service! After the last visit, I had some concerns that were cleared up right away with kindness and respect (especially for dealing with a not so electrical savvy me). I would send everyone I know and love who have electrical need to Custom Electric- they won't let you down!!— Kaitlyn Bown

Scheduling was easy, the technicians and staff were all very professional and great to work with.
